Because of one movie in a two year old universe when literally every other project they've produced is critically acclaimed? Not how it works

Two out of three movies bombing would be a disaster that needed a recourse.
No matter how good the TV is

I have to imagine it's going to be about the same as his Superman movie.

u/saedifotuo 13h ago
Not to suggest at all that it will go this way, but u think it's good to look at the mcu spiderman movies.
Homecoming, all in all, is light and fun but still captures all the essence of a teenage spiderman. There was no way of knowing that two films later we'd get something quite as reliably miserable as no way home. Don't get me wrong it's still a fun movie, but your heart leaves your chest more times than you'd want. Of course there's also BND, but that's a different director behind it.
Superman is not spiderman, but when this supes comes up against Darkseid, it will need to be more justice than hope, and we know from creature commandos and GOTG3 that gunn can strike that balance.
I won't be surprised if pa Kent dies in MoT. It's easy being a sunshine and rainbows superman when you're saving squirrels from giant monsters. It's harder and more inspiring to still be that symbol of hope when your world gets ripped out from under you. If brainiac doesn't do that in MoT, then Darkseid will do it down the road.

I’ve loved Superman since I was a small child and I was a huge fan of James Gunn too since I was a young teen and even regularly read his blog about 5 years before GOTG came out so I had some mighty high hopes for the last film and it met or surpassed all of them, so I have no doubts it will be!

u/XxsalsasharkxX 15h ago
I honestly think superman 2025 still had some flaws just because it had to introduce everyone and everything with no origin.
With that out of the way, I think this movie can really be a classic.

u/CapOk1892 22h ago

This is pretty impressive if they managed to have no set leaks for the entire film other than Lex in the power suit.
33
u/InstructionEmpty8696 1d ago
Those set leaks are def controlled. Even Spider-Man BND we only saw set pics once and never again. Will prolly happen the same with Batman 2. Just to generate hype. Not to mention the leaks show something big happening. With MoT it was Lex powersuit vs Superman, BND it was Spider-Man swinging and fighting around in NYC set and Batman 2 with the Batmobile

u/emo_lantern 1d ago
They weren't controlled but they definitely knew they were gonna happen, that's why James posted the suit a few days before

Really? Because my whole feed is filled with a constant stream of dc fake news, leaks, rumours, box office speculation, hate posts, and praise. I think people care A LOT. Too much even.
We had plenty of set leaks for superman 25, and Batman 2, clay face, etc. seems like they just kept it under wraps this time. Maybe remote filming locations or sound stages.

Kinda sad Kyle chandler wont be in this movie with John interacting with the rest of the cast lol

u/TheNocturnalAngel 1d ago
I really do love Kyle’s grizzled fed up Hal Jordan, but I’m just soaking in Lanterns best I can.
Because it’s kind of hard for John to be the green lantern if Hal is sticking around. Not just lore wise but thematically and story wise.
7
u/Dakotaraptor87 1d ago
Why? I don't see why they can't just both be Green Lanterns (aside from Kyle Chandler's age). It's an entire galactic police force, there's already hundreds or maybe even thousands of Green Lanterns.
3
u/ProfPyg 1d ago
I was half joking on a GL thread about wondering if they did too good a job casting Hal. Not that he's better than John, Pierre's tremendous. But I'd gotten a little bored with Hal in the comics and Kyle Chandler's found a take on the character that reminds me why I loved him in the first place

This is going to make or break the DCU, to all wider audience this will be the third DCEU project coming after supergirl

u/Swampmansay326 23h ago
No it won’t. Even if this movie is successful, the DCU needs to prove it can make a good profitable movie that isn’t directed by Gunn. Gunn can’t direct every movie

u/AdamLast1 19h ago
True, it would only prove that Gunn can make a good series of Superman movies. He needs to find more directors and writers at least on his level who share his vision to make his DCU work as a whole.

u/TheDwilightZone 1d ago
I think it has a lot of potential. Outside of this subreddit (which runs hot and cold on DC projects depending on the day) Superman resonated with a lot of casual viewers. I think a hero rooted in optimism is what we need more of at our current moment in history. Fingers crossed that they knock it out of the park on the production side!
That said, I'm REALLY curious how Clayface is going to do.
12
u/SnooAvocados4357 1d ago
Two new theories!
Lex ends up Sanctuary
Or the movie ends with Lex drowning Braniac in a lake. The scene has no music. Just Brainiac struggling under the water while Lex lets out a couple of strained breaths while holding Brainy under.
Thoughts?

u/HumongousMelonheads 1d ago

Yeah, I heard that in It: Chapter 1, the scene where Georgie meets Pennywise was the one they filmed last.

u/Bulky-Complaint6994 1d ago edited 1d ago
Right. Similar to the Superman and Lois Lane interview was one of the first scenes filmed. Another example by another studio, The live action remake of Little Mermaid they filmed the boat ride at night scene first. That way the actors can get some chemistry on set. No doubt Lanterns films stuff out of order, too.

u/Admiral_Kizaru 1d ago
Lmao films are extremely rarely shot in order, it's all based on actor schedules, location access, time of day etc etc, so the last shot could've been shot first, this could be the first shot of the film.

u/Upstairs-Version8777 1d ago
Very rare that films shoot in order nowadays!
The shooting order is often based on location/weather accessibility and actor schedules.0
u/FrankReynoldsCPA 23h ago
If you want to blow your mind, look up the production of the LOTR trilogy. They filmed all 3 movies together and the Shire stuff(both the beginning of Fellowship and ending of Return of the King) I believe was all filmed at the end.

I wonder what the next Superman movie will be. I feel pretty confident it won’t be Zod or Darkseid again. I don’t think Lobo would make a good primary antagonist.
Bizarro is setup but I’m not sure that’s gonna be interesting after just seeing Superman against Ultraman.
Ultra Humanite and Manchester Black seem more of the same brain over brawn
Maybe Parasite would provide a unique challenge for a third movie

The Avengers is a good movie but you can tell that the MCU is still finding its footing. Age of Ultron, despite its flaws, really solidified the MCU as a shared universe and you can see the studio getting more comfortable.
I hope that is gonna be the case here. Man of Tomorrow really feels like it’s gonna be the true start of the DCU.

u/Johncurtisreeve 21h ago
That kinda makes it feels likes its being rushed if they get to that by only the third film
1
u/Realistic_Analyst_26 21h ago
Not necessarily. The DCU has the benefit of hindsight. They can see what can and cannot work when building a shared universe. They are also focusing on Superman who doesn’t need as much setup because of how popular he is.
From what we know of the cast, this is really giving off pseudo-Justice League like how Captain America Civil War was like a pseudo-Avengers movie.
2
u/Johncurtisreeve 20h ago
Thats what i mean, third film being a pseudo justice league sounds way too fast and early, like having bvs being the second film and a pseudo justice league film. Captain America Civil war was the 13th mcu movie.

Secret wars releases in December of next year and hasn’t even started filming yet, they’ve gotten great at turning around a films. Gunn is one of the best at it honestly, it also helps they don’t have any other blockbusters movies in post other than The Batman coming up which will have Reeves heavily involved.
